@FrailLeaf operators don't really work on google anymore (eg: quotes) unless you're talking about something as basic as filtering sites.

And yes, all LLMs can do is gather consensus from internet idiots. If you have access to a real expert, that's always better.

As for what model I am using, Kagi offers a few services. There are gpt 3-4 proxies as well as Claude. They have a service called "quick answer" which is stunningly accurate and I've gotten to where I just click it by default instead of sifting through results. I don't know what model that is but it blows everything else out of the water.
